Ghana's richest footballer Asamoah Gyan splashes 100,000 on designer watch
22.09.2014 LISTEN

Africa highest ever paid footballer Asamoah Gyan has embarked on a massive splurge by splashing $100,000 to buy one of the most-prized watches in the world.

The Ghana captain has just spent $100,000 on diamond-encrusted Audemars Piguet watch in celebration of the latest contract he signed with Al Ain.

Gyan, who plays in the UAE, earns about $250,000 per week which makes the highest ever paid footballer in Ghana and the whole of Africa.

As he does not pay tax from that earning in the UAE, Gyan spent the money to buy the highly-prized watch to celebrate his new deal.

The watch originally costs about $50,000 but the amount spent by his designer to pimp the watch up with some diamond stones rocketed the prize to $100,000.

The watch is designed by a famous designer in New York called David whose services is sought after by some superstars in the world including footballers and musicians.

While some might think the Ghana captain is profligate, friends close to the Ghana star say Gyan keeps expensive watches as another form of investment which could be sold later for higher amounts of money.

Gyan keeps expensive watches including several Cartier brands, Hublot and many other brands which were bought following his move to the UAE.
